    Another Printing Question

    Hi,

    I am currently testing the printing features of Visual Studio 2005 (VB.NET)
    We want to release a database application that prints label pages. The
    labels must contain a picture box.

    I found this code to print an image:

    e.Graphics.Draw Image(Image.Fro mFile("c:\\dev\ \Projects\\Impr ession\\merci.p ng"),
    20, 750)

    With this code, the picture will print with its original dimensions. Is it
    possible to change this line with a picturebox or any control that allows us
    to resize the image (and keep its proportions) within a limited space?

    Thanks in advance!

      You can basically pass the scaled height and width to 'DrawImage'. Note
      that backslashes inside string literals must not be escaped in VB.NET.

          You mean I can pass parameters to the DrawImage method?

          As for the escaped backslashes, I had to do it because I got a first chance
          exception (FileNotFound) using "simple" backslashes when compiling...
          Someone suggested that I escape them.

          Thanks!

              Yes, just check out the different overloads in the documentation or the
              object browser.

              Sorry, but that's nonsense for VB.NET -- are you sure you are using VB.NET?!

                  Of course, I am using VB.NET in VS2005. And yeah, that's a nonsense but it
                  got me rid of that filenotfound exception at that time.
